Come@me:Cameras with AA batteries are the best

10,000 Birds

Despite the disadvantage of not being able to take many photos or having to wait for the photos to be developed you did not need to worry about batteries, because they were all manually operated.

Social Distancing

10,000 Birds

But every Monday, when my weekend work peak has passed, I literally head for the hills, and recharge my batteries with a healthy dose of total solitude. And lots of birds, of course.

Smile and say “meow”!

4 The Love Of Animals

I could not wait to get the batteries in and start taking photos. My favorite photo is of course, a photo of our dog. It arrives inside a round tin with a photo of a cat face on it. Once you pop the top open, you then see the camera, which follows the cat theme with it’s fun wink and lens eye.
